.SH DESCRIPTION
.sp
.LP
The \fBmvcur()\fR function is a low-level function used only outside of  X/Open
Curses when the program has to deal directly with the \fBterminfo\fR database
to handle certain terminal capabilities.  The use of appropriate X/Open Curses
functions is recommended in all other  situations, so that X/Open Curses can
track the cursor.
.sp
.LP
The \fBmvcur()\fR function moves the cursor from the location specified by
\fIoldrow\fR and \fIoldcol\fR to the location specified by \fInewrow\fR and
\fInewcol\fR.  A program using this function must keep track of the current
cursor position.
.SH RETURN VALUES
.sp
.LP
On success, the \fBmvcur()\fR function returns \fBOK\fR. Otherwise, it returns
\fBERR\fR.
.SH ERRORS
.sp
.LP
None.
